This is a bit of a random one but i'm looking for a recipe for a cake that someone put up around a month ago or so. It was quite an easy recipe with canned pumpkin and think it had chocolate cake mix but can't remember exactly. It had good reviews too and now i've finally managed to get hold of a can of pumpkin (in the UK) i can't seem to find it on the forum :-(

Please help if you can :-)

Thanks!

    I'm not sure about that, but these cupcakes are to die for!

    I just like making mine with a box of spice cake instead of the white and you don't need to add the extra spices. SOO good!!

    I made these yesterday after seeing a post on MFP. I found that they are even more scrumptious if you chill them before you eat them! That reminds me, one is calling my name right now!

    Mix a box of cake mix (I like chocolate) with 15oz of plain pumpkin puree and stir.

    It will be super thick, but don't add anything else. Fill in your cupcake pan (2/3 full or so, the same as regular old mix) and bake until you poke them and they bounce back and don't jiggle.

    I want to say it was about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

    These come out so yummy.
    With chocolate frosting these come out to about 120 cals per cupcake, 3 g of fat, 14 g sugar, 200 g sodium.

    I made these a few days ago and they are sooo good!!! They are more like cake than brownies :)



    PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

    Ingredients:

    One 18.25-oz. box moist-style devil's food cake mix
    One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin (Libby's is best!)
    1/4 cup creamy reduced-fat peanut butter, room temperature
    1 tbsp. light soymilk (plain or vanilla) or fat-free milk (whatever you have on hand)

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking pan (about 9" X 13") with nonstick spray and set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with pumpkin. Stir until completely blended. (Batter will be thick.) Spread batter into the baking pan, and smooth out the top.

    In a small bowl, combine peanut butter with milk. Using a butter knife or a narrow spoon handle, stir until thoroughly mixed. Swirl the peanut butter mixture over the top of the batter with the knife or spoon handle.
    Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 - 25 minutes.

    Allow to cool, and then cut into 16 pieces. Enjoy!
